Varnishing has obviously darkened the pyrography considerably (especially the walnut paddle), but I'm still happy with the results.Cherry Bittern PaddleBlade [...]

The Place From Where Folktales Come

I get an early start on a rising tide on what is a rather frigid day, 10-15 mph west winds coming and 30 F temperatures. It is early enough in the tide that I have to slide and push the canoe through 10 yards of shin deep silty mud to get to water. It leaves me breathing hard...harder than when I portage the canoe. I paddle the first [...]

Kicking back in Torreveija and on to Alicante

April 11 - 18, 2013 Torreveija is a bit of an enigma for us. It is without question the very best anchorage on this whole section of the Spanish coast. The marinas are quite good but not needed at all if you’re prepared to anchor off the beach inside the protection of the harbour as we did. From that point of view Torrie is great. However the [...]
The Crude Elegant Dhow

There appears to be a big difference in the approach to workmanship between Western (i.e., European/North American) boatbuilding and that of the dhow world. While the design of traditional Western working boats may have varied, from "workmanlike" to pure grace, workmanship tended to be quite high.

Creating Stem Pieces and Headboards

After the canoe's ribs were done, I set out to shape another of the canoe's key structural components - the stem pieces. In my model, I purposely chose a very simple stem piece style with a slight curve in the bottom and a nearly upright vertical rise. This is in contrast to a lot of old style Algonquin, Ojibway, and Fur Trade canoes which had elaborate [...]
